So you've been building up your credit score and saving decent percentage of your income. Want to know whether your financial situation is desirable? Here are a few numbers to help gauge your financial success.

Money site Financially Blonde runs down some basic measurements of financial success. According to the site:

"I have compiled a list of qualities that I think a financially sexy person has, and just as the Commodores tried to define physical sexiness in 1977 as 36-24-36, I like to say financial sexiness looks like 750-35-15-35."

The measurements, according to the site:

A credit score of 750 or higher

Credit card utilization of 35% or lower (using only 35 percent of your available credit)

Saving 15% of your gross income

A debt-to-income ratio of 35% or less

A healthy emergency fund is also important (Financially Blonde recommends having three months of living expenses saved)

While Financially Blonde presents these measurements cheekily, they're a decent aim for your finances. For more detail, check out the full post.
